Waldner Process Systems

Belonging to Herman Waldner GmbH & Co. KG the business unit Process Systems offers customized procedural solutions for the pharmaceutical, chemical and food industry.

• Isolators and containments Full containment systems for the contamination-free handling

of highly active and toxic substances (API) and isolators for sterile applications.

• Drying technology Mobile vacuum contact dryers for dust-free powder handling,

vacuum tray dryers conform to GMP standards, intermittent and circulating air tray dryers.

• Vessels, skids and units Vessel technology, ranging from single preparation, pressure

and reaction vessels to complete units, container systems, single-layer pressure fi lters.

• Cooking systems Batch cooking lines for the food industry, for the production of

aseptic fruit preparations, jam and many more.

Including the process measuring and control equipment, our products can be combined on the basis of the modular design principle. From competent advisory service on the process development and planning to the realisation of turn-key projects, we provide you with an individual service package that is consequently based on you needs. In short - you obtain what we expect from ourselves everyday: First-class solutions.

vessels, skids and unitsright from the start

More than 20,000 realized projects in the world market give evidence of Waldner Process Systems‘ well-founded know-how in the production of preparation and pressure vessels, pressure fi lters, specialized equipment and contain-ers. Our solutions are applied in the pharmaceutical, chemical, biotechnology, cosmetics and food industries. High cGMP and

FDA standards are dominating the pharmaceutical industry and make very high demands on the process technology. Safety, reduction of interfaces, optimized process times are the key factors. Waldner Process Systems‘ innovative vessel technology deals with all these aspects.

Safety you can rely on

Smart combinations

For the optimization of process steps the combination of different systems and components provides new perspec-tives. Contamination-free operation with a pressure fi lter? We say yes. Installed in an isolator manufactured by us, the safe and gentle fi ltration of highly toxic substances can be realized and this is only one example amongst many others. Based on the modular design principle, Waldner Process Systems compo-nents can be either combined with each other or can be integrated in already existing systems, such as combinations with isolators, laboratory fume cupboards or centrifuges. An impressive concept.

In focus: Your product

You defi ne the production process - this is the starting point for the development of our technology. A process vessel or bioreactor barely comes close to another in all its details. The optimal design of process vessels, skids and units always is an individual solution, perfectly adapted to our custom-ers‘ production activities. But whatever your requirement, it is always the prod-uct that defi nes the technology - not vice versa - and the goal is a process of constant quality that remains transparent at any time.

Components or comprehensive solutions?

The modular concept of our systems enables solutions ranging from single components to complete production lines, specifi cally designed to your needs. On the basis of a realistic cost analysis, the Waldner Process Systems Engineers prepare a detailed construc-tion design for your project. Many years of experience in stainless steel treat-ment results in the fi rst-class production and assembly of plant components and modules. In addition to the vessels, Wald-ner Process Systems also provides the peripheral equipment including piping, controls, assembly and start up of com-plex turn-key units and lines. This wide scope allows creative project solutions. The engineering is clever and sometimes surprisingly straightforward – but always made-to-measure.

Now and in the future: We are there for you

A Waldner Process Systems unit has an average service life of several decades. A successful collaboration with our customers is our principal goal. Only after perfect integration in your produc-tion process do we consider a project a success. Experienced engineers and technicians are at your disposal for the qualifi cation of the lines (DQ, IQ, OQ) and provide support with validation. The training of your staff, support and advisory service, as well as reliable supply of spare parts is a matter of course to us. Your process optimization takes center stage and our team is at your disposal for all issues concerning your production process.

Preparation, pressure and reaction vessels

For the fabrication of our vessels and skids we apply stainless and special alloy steels. The surface roughness and electropolishing is executed according to our customers‘ requirements. Our ves-sels are available in capacities between 5 and 50,000 litres and skids range from 5 to 10,000 litres. The size of the platforms is not subject to limitation. Particularly in the pharmaceutical or biotechnology industries, the surface fi nish is important, and an average surface roughness is our standard.

We offer modern CNC grinding technolo-gy, plasma arc welding equipment and pickling and passivating at our workshop.

High safety standards take center stage. Prior to delivery, our equipment is subject to extensive quality control procedures like non-destructive material tests, X-ray fl uorescence and ribofl avin tests for CIP cleaning. Waldner is certifi ed according to all current regulations as „ASME U-stamp“ and „Manufacture License of Special Equipment People‘s Republic of China“ etc., qualify Waldner Process Systems for projects on international markets.

Single-layer pressure fi lter / nutsche fi lters

When handling expensive or toxic products in a pressure fi lter, the pre-vention of leakages is the principal goal. We have the solution: Waldner Process Systems‘ well-proven automated central locking-system provides quick, pressure resistant sealing of the fi lter bottom and vessel shell without any leakage. First, the fi lter bottom is raised and set into the vessel bottom with electro-pneumatic actuator. Second, it is locked onto the shell fl ange via a bayonet

closure. Apart from the central locking system our fi lters can also be equipped with standard locking systems.The capacities of our fi lters range from 50 to 300 litres, with fi lter surfaces from 0.12 to 0.50 m². Both the fi lter bottom and head can be lowered or lifted and are laterally slewable. These fi lters may be equipped with manually operated lifting spindle, pneumatic, hydraulic or with hinged opening-aid; application depen-dent. We offer a variety of surface fi n-ishes, from pickled and passivated to glass bead blasted and mechanical polishing or electropolishing.

Returnable stainless steel container systems

For various applications we offer stan-dard and special containers. For aseptic fi lling operations Waldner Process Systems can provide pressure-resistant aseptic containers in round and special versions in sizes from 150 to 1,000 litres. Further-more, we supply cubic containers for liquids, viscose media and bulk material in sizes between 200 and 2,500 litres, suit-able for various applications. The surface and weld seam processing of our contain-ers comply with the highest pharmaceuti-cal, biotechnology and food standards.

Materials of construction offered are stainless alloys to specialty alloy steels like Hastelloy. Waldner Process Systems modu-lar containers depend on our customers‘ requirements. Frames and undercarriages consisting of stainless steel, aluminium or galvanised steel, are available in standard versions or hermetically welded. And lastly, Waldner Process Systems contain-ers can be equipped with various heating systems and individual mixing systems.
